== Are you suggesting we copy the contents of wp-config.php and overwrite the contents of bb-config.php? ==

Not at all.

What I’m saying is that the DB info in wp-config.php should be the same as the DB info in the generated bb-config.php file which you would see if the installation of the group forums was successful. Double-check your database if 7 yourPrefix_bb_… tables were generated, though I doubt it at this point.

What you can do is delete the incomplete bb-config.php file you have in server. Then go to dashboard menu BuddyPress > Forums and re-run installation of Group Forums.

Hi,
I’m facing a similar problem!
Whenever i try to create a new forum it showed me an error
“error when creating a new topic”
It created for certain groups but couldnt create for others and newly formed groups.. I tried all
1.Delete groupmeta
2.Deactivate and reactivate forums and nothing seemed to work!!!
I queried these lines in the db
“SELECT *
FROM wp_bp_groups_groupmeta
WHERE meta_key = ‘forum_id’
LIMIT 0 , 30″
It returned
“import.php: Missing parameter: import_type
import.php: Missing parameter: format”

Well i came into this forum to post and read about bb-config.php
Yes,the details didnt match with wp-config!
I changed but it still didnt work even after deactivate and reactivate forums step!!!
I now deleted bb-config and tried to re-install forums and funny thing here shows that i donot have sufficient permissions to install!!!
“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”
What’s going on with my BP???
Any ideas anyone please???
Am not sleeping since two weeks,just going mad at this!!!

i delete the buddypress and bb config.php from my server and all bb tables from data base.

why when i want to re install buddypress the instalation wizard not shown?

“(Installed) Forums for Groups
“
and the install new group forum button is not shown????
